After we met them at the park we felt somewhat comfortable talking with them right away. Everyone speaks good English so we carried on for quite some time while the kids played and went from activity to activity. John, Marla and Amy eventually invited us over to their home for lunch that same day. We went over and began to get to know this family while the kids swam in the swimming pool.
One of the things I started to notice about John's sister Amy was that she dressed very provocatively. Now remember, this is quite common for Mexican women but even Christian Mexican women know a degree of modesty. Yet this girl had a very profound commitment to make sure everyone could see her entire cleavage.
Also, she seemed to blend in well when we talked of spiritual matters or political matters. However, sh eventually did distance herself when the conversation became to intimate in the Lord. Surface level was fine, but not to much below that. Eventually Amy went outside and never came back in.
I also noticed that she made a comment to me that I looked exactly like her husband. When she showed me a picture I could see that we really didn't look anything alike. He is also about 4 inches taller than me yet she asked me how tall I was and insisted I was the same stature as her husband. Her comments seemed quirky. We eventually finished up our visit and left.
A few days later, while at the mall with Christine and the kids, I felt someone tap me on the shoulder. It was Amy. In the Yucatan it is very common to greet everyone you meet with a hug and a kiss on the cheek. But I noticed that she only greeted me with a kiss on the cheek. She would not greet Christine. I though that was odd.
A few weeks later we ended up having lunch with John and Marla at Peter Piper Pizza with all of our kids. John explained to me that his sister, who is a professing christian, was born to a woman who was their father's mistress. He told me her mother later died while having an abortion. Well, Amy ended up having her first child, a son, when she was 15. Her son is now a grown man. Already you can see generational curses on this lady and her family.
Amy's husband, an American citizen, was in the process of moving down here when I first met them. He was still back in the states when we all first met each other. As soon as her husband (we will call him Chuck) moved here Amy did everything she could to get a minimum wage job ($40 USD per week) and leave their 5 year old daughter at home with her husband Chuck who has a full time job working with a company on- line. He makes really good money yet Amy wants to get away for 40 hours a week, may about $1.00 USD per hour and leave their daughter at home with him while he is working. That doesn't make any sense.
Another thing I noticed is that Amy didn't want her husband Chuck out without her. She didn't want him to have anything to do with John or myself. She won't let him out of the house. And she is 5'3" tall and he is about 6'4".
About 3 months ago I was out jogging and I notice this H2 Hummer driving towards me from down the road. I look up and it is Amy. She pulls over and begins to tell me how she can't find a job. I told her that maybe she needed to pray about things before she did them and she looks at me and says, "you now that is a good idea. I haven't been doing that." Amy also made comments to me trying to "warn" me of how bad of a person Marla is, that she controls my good friend John. Well, Marla and my wife are friends and while we have noticed some areas that are not perfect in Marla, she is far from controlling. So here she is trying to plant the seeds of doubt and discord. I dismiss myself and keep jogging down the road.
As the months went on I continued to become good friends with John. He has continued to inform me of how difficult his sister is to get along with. While Amy and her daughter were waiting for Chuck to move down, all the while living with John and Marla, John informed me that Amy was incredibly rude and insulting at times. Amy was always very critical of Marla. Amy would tell Marla that she was fat and that they needed to lose weight. Unbelievable things would come out of her mouth. Just incredible.
Over the course of time John would continue to confide in me that his sister would keep trying to get in there and sow discord in his marriage. I finally told him what his sister had said to me the day I saw her while out jogging, that it seemed she was interested in causing dissension. Remember, this spirits name means "without cohabitation." It is another way of saying disunion, a breaking apart, to divide.
Later I would run into Amy again while out jogging. God help me. This time she went into tears crying, telling me how mean her brother was to her and that Marla was such a bad influence on John. This crying and complaining went on for 10 minutes. Nothing but tears and sobbing. I finally asked for her husbands phone number and I asked permission to call him. "Can Chuck come out and play?," asked the little boy from down the street. Man it felt childish. Yet that is what we were dealing with her.
And the chaos hasn't stopped. On June 8th of this year the Lord had me sit down and connect some dots:
- Dresses provocatively
- She comments on my physical features in an inappropriate way.
- She would only greet me, not my wife.
- Born out of wedlock to an adulterous woman/mistress.
- Teenage pregnancy.
- Won't let her husband speak for himself or fellowship with other men in the Lord.
- Wants to get a job she doesn't need. Forsakes motherhood to go get a job making $40 USD a week. What a waste of time.
- Curses others with her mouth.
- Takes things out of context and misrepresents facts.
- Talks very badly of others (gossip, slander, bitterness, anger).
This was my fourth significant encounter over a protracted period of time with this spirit. I guess the Lord is just trying to keep us sharp in the discerning of spirits. That's my conclusion.
Yet the one thing we have started to see through all of this is that Jezebel is not a cookie cutter spirit. She comes in various shapes, sizes, forms and colors. While there is a strong degree of commonality between anyone that has this spirit, it can manifest in greater or lesser degrees in various facets of itself. What facets? Let's take a look at all of them.
